So once again I'm asking you, my fellow fedizens, for upaid technical advice. I'm on the hunt for a DumbPhone. A clamshell/ FlipPhone, OR one tough enough to survive being landed on when I come off my bike (which is how DumbPhone number 1 bit the dust). BlueTooth is a must, so I can connect my noise-cancelling headphones for hands-free calling.

(10/?)

🚨 Just what the world needed: a chronicle of a 10-year-old Samsung phone and its epic #odyssey with a SIM swap. 🙄 The harrowing tale of a family surviving on a single flip phone—truly, the #heroism is overwhelming. 📱✨

Pile onto this development. Linux!

Lenovo is in the process of bringing a linux phone to market. Excitement high, opportunities vast. Lenovo will sell you its Windows laptops, with linux instead, a little cheaper.

Cool.cool.cool.

Lonovo's phone brand is Motorola.
(I think Lenovo should sell a Lenovo branded Linux Phone too)

TWO. Europe is getting the hell off techbro software. Linux makes this phone a must in EUROPE.

Wow, #Verizon has been really pushing the #Google #Pixel10. Getting almost daily notifications on both my smartphone and flip phone.

Bombarding my flip phone with weekly texts about upgrading *since* I bought the device over a year ago is amusing since the whole point of buying it was to....not use a smartphone. 🤣🤦‍♂️

There are some quirks with my smartphone, Kyocera DuraForce Ultra, and definitely some battery life issues. It's MIL-SPEC and tough as nails. Given how expensive electronics have become, I plan on holding onto this until it gives up the ghost.

📱 Flip vs Fold Smartphones in 2026 — are foldables really the future?

After years of using both formats, I realized something: I don’t actually use the big unfolded screen the way companies expect.

Here’s my real-world perspective on where mobile tech is heading.

Apple is reportedly exploring a clamshell flip iPhone 📱 that folds vertically—not to make screens bigger, but to tackle the frustrations of oversized phones. Think compact pockets, easier one-handed use, and that satisfying snap when you hang up ☎️. Read the article to learn what this could mean for the future of the iPhone.
